In my world today

 

This year has made me skeptical of everything!

All those articles about how it was? The ones about how it was in the fifties, sixties and seventies are often grossly wrong. I know. I was there. A lot of it is really from times long before those years and neither as good, nor as bad as they claim.

Articles about how to organize are barely disguised sales ads for stores selling "stuff" to store your stuff.

Beauty ads all claim to have found an easier way to make your life better because you look better, but in fact beauty without health and energy, empathy and love is pretty irrelevant. Even if worked the way they say it does, which it usually does not.

In the words from Fiddler on the Roof, "If you're rich they think you really know." I see a true test of people's intelligence this year. We have a president who thinks he is god's gift to the world and a bunch of people who follow him like lemmings no matter how obnoxious his behavior, or unscientific his assumptions, or egotistical his pandering for popularity.

People want to send children back to the classrooms and yet they have no belief in science, history, or manners, so I don't know what is supposed to be taught. Propaganda, maybe?

Everyone has their own god and set of appropriate rituals ordained by that god, so it's thrice around some altar chanting magic words in an attempt to cajole that god into doing your will.

People are literally clamoring to die in order to invoke their right to freedom and prove they are strong.

The Think it and it shall be system is now the norm and we are no more than lab rats in our president's run up the ramp for power.
